[From the Washington Union, Oct. 2.) Among the papers which bave reached Washington this evening, by express mail, are two small printed sheets, of four pages each, headed ” Coutvstaciones habi- das entre el supremo gobierno Mexicano, ¢) General en fa del ejercito Americano, y ¢! Comisiouado de los Kstados-Unidos.”” (The negotiation held between the fupreme government of Mexioo, and the general-in-ehief of the American army and the commissioner of the United States.) These eight pages contain notes from General Scott and Sante Anna, the various details of the negotiation, and the project of a teosty. submitted by Mr. Trist. ,But wo must dofer these details till Momday. It appears from this statement that the Mexicans upon 4 world of indemnifications—for what ourarmy bas dons in their towns and villagee.and for loraen sustained the people in the country. E-ven the mischiefs perpetrate: by their own guerillas we are to make good! An to ter- ritory and boundaries, they are equally short of the mark. ‘They first demanded that no part of the territory be- tween the Bravoand the Nueces was to be considered es a part of Texas. Then they appear so far to have mo- dified their propositions, that after running e line a few leagues from the coast from the Bravo to the Nueoes, they run up the middle of that river (the Nueces) they strike the 37th degree of latitude, and thence to the Pacific ocean. Mz. Trist submitted his pi af- ter which follow the counter-instructions of Sents na, embracing the boundary proposition we have just stated, of the Sth of September; and there the matter seems to have ended. ‘There is no account of the final rejection or dirposition of these several projets. Whe- ther the negotiation died away of itself, or, the armis- tice being broken, the matter fell with it, does not ap- war, AX lar as we are advised from the printed sheets fore us. One impression is left upon us, from the whole of the letters and papers before us—and that is, that they do not confirm the reports that we have heard of the vio- lent resistance made by the Mexicans, or the great loan on our side, or Gen. Worth’s wound. The leperos and the women figure more in these accounts than their re- gular troops, or even their guerillas.
